Update: Firefighters responded to a fire in a two-story home (not an apartment as first reported) on 20th Ave. between 65th and 67th. An elderly couple inside was able to escape without injury. Firefighters say it looks like the cause is the chimney over the living room stove. The fire was isolated to a wall. (12:09 p.m.)
Update: The Red Cross has been called in to help the couple. If you would like to help them out, email My Ballard (tips@myballard.com) and we can pass your information along to the Red Cross (this was their suggestion).
